and your surge of protest in greece turned violent as the country's parliament baggs a new round of stinging spending cuts. a once in a decade power transfer kicks off in china as president hu jintao and most of the current leadership prepared to step down to let younger leaders develop the country's potholes in column e. . class bickering over the budget bridges david cameron and german giles lego brick wall failed to agree on even spending plan stream towards him and.

it's gone now midday here in moscow you love with r t i'm to say anger and violence have spilled over onto the streets of athens with police using tear gas and water cannon against greeks procedures protesting draconian new budget cuts demonstrators hurled petrol bombs with more than one hundred detained as the country's parliament passed an austerity package aimed at securing the latest bailout speed all of our reports from the greek capital. what we have seen though is anger on the streets of athens we saw a crowd of around one hundred thousand people gather in the meet the square just behind me in front of of the parliament building not quite quickly escalated into violent clashes between police and protesters in a matter of seconds downtown athens went into essentially in an urban war zone for a couple of hours we saw most of cocktails thrown flash bang grenades used also gas used extensively again here in athens as police tried to calm down protesters

who are extremely unhappy by what they see as unfair measures being taken by the government now also there was one hundred people detained by police five arrests made and we're also hearing of injuries on both sides both the police and demonstrators the people undoubtedly very unhappy about what's been signed into law what's essentially happened is that politicians here in greece of voted in order to allow the next round of austerity measures one hundred fifty three m.p.'s voting in favor of these latest austerity measures one hundred twenty eight against and there were eighteen abstentions what the new austerity measures mean though for the greek people is that we're going to see the retirement age rise to sixty seven there's also going to be slashes to pensions and wages and there's also going to be new laws that's going to actually make it easier for employers to fire their staff now

all of this comes as antonius some are asleep prime minister to make thirteen point five billion worth of say a billion euro worth of savings the reason he had to do that was he was it was demanded of him by greece's three main lenders the so-called troika they said that unless these cuts were made that greece wouldn't get its next round of bailout money that's over thirty billion euros and without that money greece was out of the euro essentially and they would have faced a potentially devastating thief fault so that's what these new austerity measures mean they've been signed into law this is the future for the greek people now. packages said to be the worst so far the greek debt crisis journalist johnny mcgrath says the cuts will hit for the suffering on ordinary people and that the situation won't change for the better until greece acknowledges its bankrupt we already have people killing themselves in front of parliament in greece you have

people that are losing everything using hope that the last thing to go i think is going to be you know their sense that they have anybody representing them with so far whatsoever you have this tyranny of the technocrat majority inside greece one hundred fifty three out of three hundred gold more austerity on the people i think it is they continue to lose all hope that they have any control of their own financial destiny whatsoever how can it be anything but you don't digress into but potentially civil war the financial health of the country is not going to change for the better until they realize that they are in default they're bankrupt and they tell the banks that are holding their debt and the european union and the e.c.b. and the trail that they are going to default this is what happens in the market cap of their their prospects for a return to a healthy economy has to start with their realizing that they are completely and utterly broke and start over from scratch. as one battle is a with the green palm

reins of power to the next generation of chinese leaders vice president xi jinping widely expected to become the next head of states now president who has just finished giving his last speech as general secretary of the communist party he's going to stand down as general secretary at the end of this week paving the way as i say for she to take over as general secretary and then as head of states in march two thousand and thirteen reform has been a buzzword around this congress has been mentioned a lot in state media in the build up so you this week and experts and analysts and analysts say china if it wants to continue its economic growth its economic engine it really needs to start implementing long stalled reforms you speak to people on the streets they're extremely concerned about the economy as well and people around the world generally will also be watching what the new leadership is doing china of course a growing economic power is now the second biggest economy in the world and also

turning into something more of a world superpower. now reports. lighting the flame on the international stage building to new heights on this world. and throwing beyond its limits whether it's outer space the arctic outer continental shelf or on your local store shelves china is making its ambitions known let's see this is made in china. made in china china. translated into massive profits for china as well as criticism you know this comes amid growing concern that china is using its economic clout. little leverage. different. china is a very promising country i'm sure you punted your top but your i say twenty try less than five the i.m.f. says china could surpass the us economically in real terms by twenty sixteen it may

not help the countless chinese who live in poverty but it sure makes rivals nervous china's economic clout has grown it is now the second largest economy in the world it's the second largest manufacturing exporter in the rimini the training's currency is playing an increasingly important role in the world economy so there is a shift in relative economic might in the world that might has been threatened by the economic slowdown and it will be up to china's new leaders to try to reverse the trend for now they seem to be getting their way china is inching into europe to snap up ailing businesses this french vineyard is just one of the casualties. but that these people they come here and leave by learned just like to buy a castle or jewelry on iran u.s. sanctions against oil trading with the islamic republic don't apply when you're america's largest banker. in africa china is using cash to buy clout beating

western rivals in the race to exploit the continent's vast resources in its efforts to buy influence through investments have been met with an intense public backlash in countries like pakistan and building infrastructure instead of military bases has made china the preferred superpower among locals. born into feel ok. other countries that does not like. it or that like america. still it has abandoned its military the country's new leaders are expected to continue to pour billions into its defense budget the second largest in the world. this may worry pentagon planners and beijing's asian neighbors but so far china's economic might has proven more powerful than the sword there are two nations which are fighting in the world what is america what is china so america is using which is why our and there is

a lot of losses and china is using up peacefully and civilized the it is no loss and if the strategy is working why change it chinese leaders understand the even portions of soft power. and yet understand. people. to some extent in me did a certain to be studied if not to be followed completely for now a growing red dragon means that china's version of a new world order is here to stay you see captain of r t moscow. well wasn't economies are still facing the debt crisis chinese models bill a huge success team bill in asia expert based in new zealand says modest military spending compared to the world's biggest economy the u.s. is among its main advantages. the challenge is really going to become more daunting when china is a leader when it's

a leader of the in terms of technology and science. and social order and governance and so forth so this giant is model has been very successful we don't know yet whether it's going to continue to grow into a ball and certainly and what will all the rest of the twenty first century but in the omens of the moment are pretty good but china military expended has been going up it has been going up in sync with the company so the proportion of. that is spent on us military has made about two percent something like that and that is half the american figure they have about forty two percent want to trick spending hours of percentage of their g.d.p. at twice that of china their military expenditures ten times that china so once china is necessarily increasing its military power as one might expect is not doing it just proportionately. once in

crucial talks with britain's prime minister about the e.u. budget gala merkel tried to urge david cameron not to veto any increase in spending something the u.k. parliament is insisting on artists are for of has the tale of the talks. on the surface of it anglo americans come here to meet david cameron to discuss that if it did the budget meetings are taking place in just a a week's time and. good of course what you see in that very smooth experience you know the very friendly and shaking hands that hides beneath the surface is very very troubled waters and the discussion you'd expect to run into some more territory may need being the whole discussion about britain's place within the e.u. itself of course we see a big rise in the and c.e. sentiment recently we've had the british tabloids calling. the merkel

a to i mean she's certainly got that aura about her hasn't she she's very much been seen as heading the. the drive to austerity to try and get those countries out of the economic crisis imposing these very very harsh measures on countries such as greece and of course for it it has an escape that with the budget of the e.u. is going to be asking for even more to be contributed to the course it already stands at about a trillion euros so i mean that's a lot to ours from a country that is going through a very tough time itself economically she doesn't look like a woman who suffers fools gladly unfortunately david cameron recently hasn't been looking like the strongest of british leaders he's had that humiliating defeat in the house of commons when rebel backbenchers pushed for their plan they were calling for a real turn cuts in that the budget and it raises so why did discussion here of

course as we said about britain's place within the e.u. itself not is a discussion of the britain is going to have to have at some point so it was angry merkel says he's going to be looking for some form you think of clarity over britain's stance right now unlikely that david cameron is actually going to be able to give her that because of course the talk at the moment is not so much even if britain will have a referendum now but when that will happen until that happens until britain decides of course he can't really give her much more information than the. they spurned lover has gone on a brutal killing spree in the russian capital police say a russian lawyer shot six people dead and wounded two others suffered a bitter breakup with his girlfriend. while well you're also online check out suspected a whistleblower bradley manning is reportedly considering

american israeli relations and only a mosque the two leaders personal dislike for each other we are the journey a partner in this relationship both men want to succeed they need to cooperate in order to succeed and i think it's not it's not i mean some of the real challenge for an attorney oh to fix the relationship but he has some fixing to do relations between the two countries are at an all time low and most of his radio americans were also hedging their bets on the republican candidate of the roughly eighty thousand voters from israel four in five voted romney these few got up early to watch the results obama can be harsh because this truth is real because he doesn't have to worry about reelection anymore and the time we are all has to do with obama's tells in many aspects because israel is dependent on america for allies or for support in the war in the international arena the pressing issue now

is what is a bomb is victory mean for israel's foreign policy after all netanyahu saw in mommy and i someone here greet with on most issues including what to him is the most urgent stopping iran's nuclear program netanyahu is trying to convince the world to strike iran a position that until now obama has not supported the question is will israel go it alone in order to destroy completely destroy iran's nuclear weapons capability i think you need. many many strikes over an extended period of time only one country in the world that is capable of doing it in. and i don't think we will do it this is the united states of america and without u.s. backing netanyahu is in a corner with the risk to strike back down from his warmongering neither position puts him in a good light netanyahu took a gamble so openly favoring romney welcoming him in israel during the election
